The "New" old Gibson


For Christmas 2 1/2 years ago my dad gave me his acoustic guitar that he had owned since the early 70s. The wood had cracked below the bridge and 30+ years of use had worn down the frets. Well, I got the cracks fixed a while ago and just got the frets replaced. I also found out that the guitar was made sometime in the early 60s. Now it sounds just about as good as any I have heard (as well as any the repair man had heard). Funny what can get passed down. No one really knows what it is worth, but being an heirloom, good luck getting away from me for any price!

It does sound pretty sweet... almost as good as my old Epi!
